Chapter 114: Holder
"What did you call the man selling the map?"
"Mamos. What's wrong?"
I quickly took out the crystal stone given by Harriet and thought about the image of Mamos when I saw it. A three-dimensional projection of Mamos immediately appeared above the crystal stone. "Is it this person?"
"Yes, it's him. What's wrong? Are you looking for this person?"
"Of course. Aren't you surprised that I came to Egypt to do nothing? My purpose is him."
"So you're here to find someone? No wonder you know nothing about the environment here."
"Can you tell me where I can find this person?"
The female mage shook her head. "It would have been better if you had come earlier, but now I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult!"
"Why?"
"At the beginning, he was standing outside the teleportation array we just came out of. Then as long as anyone paid, he would give you a map and tell you the coordinates of a leveling area to send you there. But later someone knew the location. , some people who had been there came back and told others about the location. As more people knew about it, it became harder to sell his map, so he left. Now almost everyone knows the news about that place. And even if you don’t know, as long as you follow the crowd, it’s absolutely fine.”
"That means Mamos has left, right?"
"Yes."
I nodded and stood up and said to the female mage: "In this case, I must look for clues immediately. The longer it takes, the harder it will be to find them." As I said that, I took out two pieces of Holy Demon's Blood and put them on the table. "Thank you for the message, bye."
"Do you need me to help you find it?" The female mage was not polite and put away the elixir directly.
I declined her offer, since there was no use taking her with me anyway. Since Mamos has been selling maps in the Teleportation Hall for such a long time, at least one kind of person must have seen Mamos, and such people will not run around.
It's really inconvenient to move around on crowded roads. Moreover, anyone who dares to fly close to the teleportation hall will be attacked by ground personnel, so I can only give up the advantage of wings and squeeze forward with the flow of people on the ground. But although everyone rejects people flying in the sky, no one says that we can't think of other ways. No one said you have to rely on your own strength to push forward, right? There are many people on the road who rely on their magic pets to push them forward, and those with large magic pets obviously take advantage. My large familiar is too big for use here, but I have something else.
He opened the Fenglong Space and brought out a random demon doll. This big steel thing was as powerful as a bulldozer, and no one could stop it from cutting its way through the crowd. I sat directly on the golem's shoulders. Then I moved towards the entrance of the Teleportation Hall. No matter how dense the crowd was, it had no effect on me. After arriving at the gate of the teleportation hall, I searched around for items and soon found my target.
"Over there, hurry up." I knocked the big iron head of the golem hard.
"Understood." The devil quickly turned around and walked towards a sculpture outside the door of the teleportation hall.
This sculpture is just a decorative thing. My target is not it, but the four people standing on it. The base of the sculpture is not large, but four people can barely stand on top of it. These four people were all wearing typical Egyptian warrior armor, and they looked like they were not too eager to get down from above. So I quickly determined that the four of them were the NPC guards of the Teleportation Hall.
According to the regulations of the system city, guards are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization, so no matter what happens, the guards of this teleportation hall must be nearby. But there are so many people here, I don’t think they can stand. Therefore, this sculpture that is not far from the door and will not be washed away by the flow of people is the only choice.
The golem carried me to the side of the sculpture. With the height of the golem, I was just on the same level as the four guards above. "Excuse me, are you the guards here?"
"Yes. What do you want?" one of the guards replied.
I took out the image of Mamos. "Have you seen this man?"
The guard recognized him after just one glance. "Mamos, right? That's the guy who's been selling maps here these days."
"Yes. That's him. Do you know where he is now?"
Another guard said: "He hasn't appeared since yesterday afternoon, but you can go to the altar and look for him."
"altar?"
"It's the altar of selection used by God's Chosen Day. That guy knows money. Wherever you can make money, you can definitely find him there. When he left yesterday, he seemed to have said that he was going to sell medicine at the altar. "
Wow, this Mamos really knows how to make money. First, sell the map to the altar to make a fortune. When the news leaks out that the map cannot be sold, he will switch to selling medicine near the altar. It is impossible for a large number of players to wait for the God's Choice Day at the altar, so everyone will definitely find nearby monsters to level up first, so that there will naturally be a consumption of medicines and other supplies. It is very uneconomical to use the teleportation array to travel back and forth between the city and the altar, and players cannot bring too many things. Mamos can naturally earn the price difference from those players who are too lazy to travel back and forth or want to save costs. He is indeed a shrewd businessman.
It's easier now that you know the location. After thanking the NPC guard, he directly directed the demon to enter the teleportation hall. As a result, there was a lot of cursing all around. Although I wasn't attacked like a person flying in the sky, the people around me were obviously dissatisfied with my shameless behavior of riding a golem. But a protest is a protest, and they can't do anything to me. In the end, I arrived at the center of the teleportation array smoothly. According to the information about the location of the altar that I just asked from the guard, I directly chose to teleport to the Diquan Shazhou sub-station in the Shahai leveling area.
The teleportation array here is in the open air. Although there are the same number of people, it is not as crowded as in the city. Almost all the people coming out of the teleportation array were walking in the same direction, and they could guess where the altar was without asking. Put on night shadow. Follow the flow of people and move forward. Soon I saw the altar.
This place is much stranger than imagined. The altar is not a platform raised above the ground in the usual sense, but a large sunken pit. The entire altar is like an inverted pyramid. The tip is underground. The bottom is facing up and level with the ground. The altar is very large, with a square sandy area in the center, probably a testing area. The strong sunken part of the outer stairs is just like the stands of a stadium. But there was no one in the altar at this time, and it was completely obscured by an invisible wall.
Riding Ye Ying around in the sky several times. There are almost tens of millions of players everywhere in the area that can be seen nearby. They gather together in groups or disperse nearby to kill monsters. It seems that there are quite a lot of them. However, there is a place in the crowd where the mobility of people is very high. It is estimated that that is where Mamos is selling things. A lot of players ran there. He left quickly, obviously getting equipment while buying and selling supplies and leveling up.
Yeying dived under my command, and then stood upright next to Mamos at an extremely exaggerated speed, startling some people who were about to buy medicine and Mamos.
As soon as I landed, someone started to protest. "Hey, if you want to buy something, go queue up at the back. Can you be a little more civilized?"
Mamos is indeed a 'crooked' businessman, and his reaction is different from ordinary people. He didn't chase me away, but asked directly: "How much do you want to buy?"
"That depends on how you sell it. But I think it won't be too cheap."
"If you exceed five thousand crystal coins, I will allow you to 'jump' in line." Mamos stared at me with shining green eyes and said.
"It should definitely exceed this number."
"Okay. I allow you to jump in line. Tell me what do you want to buy? Medicines or other supplies? Or do you want them all?"
"Hey, that's ridiculous. Go to the queue at the back." Although Mamos agreed to my 'jumping' in line, the players at the back obviously disagreed.
Mamos said confidently: "If any of you plans to buy more than five thousand crystal coins, I will allow him to 'jump' in line. Do you understand this is called the big household channel?"
"I don't care what passage you have. Anyway, go to the back and line up." The soldier who was supposed to have his turn walked towards me angrily.
"Sorry, the things I bought are relatively expensive. Please wait a moment."
"I don't care if it's expensive or not, you have to queue up anyway." The soldier's words resonated with those behind him. Everyone shouted together.
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Mamos quickly said to me: "What on earth do you want to buy? Hurry up and leave immediately after the transaction."
"I want to buy your magic gem."
With a sound of sand, the delicate little abacus originally held in Mamos' hand fell to the sand. Mamos' eyes almost popped out of his head, and he looked at me with his mouth wide open. It took a long time before he suddenly screamed. "I don't, I don't know, I don't know anything... Don't kill me... I don't know anything... I don't know anything...!" He yelled back while running out, as if I was the god of plague. Same.
"Hey." I was about to chase after him, but the soldier just grabbed Ye Ying's reins.
"If you want to leave, you have to pay us for waiting for such a long time before you can leave."
"I don't have time to play blackmail games with you. Yeying, catch up."
Ye Ying suddenly stood up, and the soldier didn't pay attention for a moment. He was pulled up and tossed in the air for half a circle before he let go and flew out. But the ground is full of sand, so it’s not a big deal if it falls. After the soldier was thrown away, several people wanted to come up and catch me, but Yeying was too fast. They didn't even touch Yeying's tail.
Mamos ran forward stumblingly. I don’t know how many people were knocked down. Even though he looks like a mummy, he runs pretty fast. Ye Ying was stunned and couldn't catch up with him. To be able to meet a high-level god like Harriet and still live to this day, even if he is not a god, he should be close to it. This Mamos ran so fast that it wouldn't be surprising. It would be strange if he ran like an ordinary person.
Mamos might have been frightened at first and just remembered to run, but after we chased out of the crowd, he seemed to suddenly remember. While running, Mamos's lower body suddenly turned into a yellow cloud, and then the whole person flew up. After he flew up, he looked back to make sure we hadn't caught up with him, but when he turned around, he saw Ye Ying also flying through the void. As a result, he was so frightened that he buried his head and flew wildly.
To be honest, it was a mistake for him to fly. There are people on the ground blocking the way. Ye Ying couldn't run fast enough, but Ye Ying's speed obviously increased when he flew into the air. Although Mamos is definitely not simple, Yeying is a pure mount-type familiar after all, and his abilities are almost all focused on speed. Although not as fast as the flying bird, most people will definitely not be able to outrun him.
Seeing the distance quickly shrinking, Mamos suddenly took out a large bag from his body. At first I thought he was going to take something out of his pocket to deal with me, but who knew he actually turned it over. He covered his head. The pocket looked small, but Mamos actually got into it. When Mamos completely entered the pocket, the pocket immediately lost its support and fell to the ground. The night shadow sank, and I caught the pocket smoothly. When I opened the pocket, I found that it was connected to another place. I also followed Mamos' example and put the bag over my head, and put away Yeying at the same time.
Without Ye Ying, I would naturally fall downwards, but I finally got through completely before I hit the ground. This pocket is a space passage. If you crawl over it, you will reach another place. This is a tropical forest, but the plant species grow in a mess. Compare the weather here with the system time. If this is still a normal game space, then I should still be in Egypt, at least not far from Egypt.
The situation on this side of the pocket makes me very depressed. The forest is no different from the desert. Mamos' direction was completely blocked by trees. At least I couldn't see him.
"Rose Vine, Bailang. Come out and help." After releasing the two demon pets, I pointed at the passage formed by the pocket. "Bai Lang, smell the smell here and help me find someone. Rose Vine, feel the vibrations on the ground. The other party may have footsteps." Although Mamos can fly, it is obviously inconvenient to fly in the jungle, so Rose The vine should be able to capture some information.
After Bailang sniffed it, he immediately turned around and sniffed on the ground. "I found it, in this direction."
Rose Vine also sent back information about the discovery of the target through telepathic contact. It’s better to have more magic pets. No one can run away from me.
First, he transformed into a werewolf, and then used the werewolf's speed bonus to jump quickly among the trees. Bailang and I were both very fast, and the rose vine had already been retracted. After only chasing 500 meters, we encountered a strange building, which seemed to be a religious building of some minority tribe. This one is made of rough stone slabs. The thing that can be regarded as a house in front of me is only as big as a public toilet. There are some strange humanoid sculptures carved in stone. In my opinion, the person who created these sculptures must be a student of Picasso.
Mamoth's scent took the building and disappeared. Bailang circled the building a few times to confirm that the smell only ended here. According to past experience, the best thing to do when encountering this kind of situation is to have something like an underground secret passage. I released the rose vine again and searched the ground, and easily found a passage below. I didn't bother to find the entrance, so I just let the rose vine overturn a big hole in the passage.
After entering the passage, Bailang discovered the smell of Mamos again, and because the air in the passage was not circulating. The smell became very strong. We chased all the way and found that this passage was just a big maze. But this has no effect on us, because the scent of Mamos will always guide us to the right turn.
We are not slow. After running for a while, I finally saw Mamos. "Hey, stop, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"
"Only stupid humans will believe the words of you gods." Mamos shouted and accelerated towards the front again.
"I'm really not a god-sent. I'm Harriet's friend, and it was he who told me you had what I wanted."
"Hmph, that's enough. I won't be deceived by you again." Mamos suddenly stopped at a corner, then he jumped up and pressed a stone slab on the top of the passage.
There was a click, and the passage suddenly vibrated. The walls on both sides of the passage between us and Mamos actually began to move toward the middle. At this speed, the passage would be completely closed before I ran over. Mamos smiled and waved at me. "Those guys would actually send you, a mediocre person like you, but even if they come in person, they still can't find me. Haha, farewell, poor Lord God Envoy."
"How dare you say that my master's strength is mediocre?" Bai Lang said angrily: "You will pay the price for this." Just after Bai Lang finished speaking, the passage finally closed in front of us.
I knocked on the wall helplessly, and the echo showed that its thickness could not be easily broken open with brute force. Looking back at Bai Lang, who was still very angry, he patted him on the head. "Don't be angry. He said that our strength is mediocre. In fact, we should be happy."
"Why?"
"Because his standards are based on those higher gods. Just like if a Titan says that your height is average, then you are at least a giant, because according to their standards, anyone less than fifty meters tall is considered undersized. High category. If we are only mediocre in strength at the level of a god, then at least it means that we have basically reached the basic power of a god."
"That's true. But what should we do now?"
"Since I can't make it through, I have no choice but to go back first."
Bai Lang glanced at me in surprise. "Didn't you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"The same sound came from the passage behind us. We must have been trapped and died in this passage."
"Isn't it?" I quickly ran back to the corner of the passage. There is a T-shaped fork here. As a result, the other two roads were all closed, and ours became the only space. "What bad luck!"
"At least he didn't put the middle section together and crush us."
Just as Bai Lang finished speaking, there was a sudden roar from the passages on both sides, and the huge walls started to press towards us. I looked at Bailang helplessly. "You really have the potential to be a crow!"
"Instead of talking about me, you should first find a way to solve these two walls."
"Do you need to think about this?" I stretched out my hand. "Summon, the Spirit-Controlling King Kong." Although the form of the spirit-controlling super-spiritual body cannot change its shape except for the harmonious body, it can freely control its size. At least it is not a problem to enter the channel. I pointed at two walls that Nian was approaching. "Can you block it?"
"I'll try." King Kong stretched out his arms and pressed against the walls on both sides. "ah……!"
King Kong roared loudly, and the walls on both sides stopped immediately, but the sound of mechanical operation was still there, and some uncoordinated clicks could be clearly heard. The walls on both sides competed with King Kong for a few seconds, and then suddenly there was a muffled sound in the passage, and King Kong lowered his supporting arms. "It seems to have stopped."
"Can you try opening the wall in front of me?"
"Let me try." King Kong walked to the closed passage in front. He first knocked a few stones down on the gap with his hands to get a position where he could use force, and then 'insert' his hands in and pull them to both sides. With a creaking sound, the rock walls on both sides actually retreated a distance to both sides. Although the gap was small, it was enough for us to pass.
Taking back King Kong, we quickly passed through. The passage here was not closed. Bailang easily found the whereabouts of Mamos again based on the smell on the ground. I followed Bailang and chased him. But this passage is obviously not as easy to walk as the first one. The switch activated by Mamos may have also activated other mechanisms in the passage. There were a lot of traps and secret passages in the later passage. If Bailang's nose and ears hadn't been very sensitive, and he himself was a Warcraft that specifically targeted tomb passages, we probably wouldn't have been able to get through those traps. But finally came over.
After breaking open the last door, the things outside finally appeared in front of us, but I would rather not have opened that door myself.
